US deports eight men to South Sudan after legal battle
BBC ^ | July 6, 2025

The US has deported eight people to South Sudan following a legal battle that saw them diverted to Djibouti for several weeks.

The men - convicted of crimes including murder, sexual assault and robbery - had either completed or were near the end of their prison sentences. Only one of the eight is from South Sudan. The rest are nationals of Myanmar, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos and Mexico. US officials said most of their home countries had refused to accept them.

The Trump administration is working to expand its deportations to third countries...

Officials did not say whether the South Sudanese government had detained them or what their fate would be. The country remains unstable and is on the brink of civil war, with the US State Department warning against travel because of "crime, kidnapping and armed conflict".

The eight had initially been flown out of the US in May, but their plane was diverted to Djibouti after US district judge Brian Murphy in Massachusetts blocked the deportation. He had ruled that migrants being deported to third countries must be given notice and a chance to speak with an asylum officer.

But last week, the Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration and overturned Judge Murphy's ruling. On Thursday, the Supreme Court confirmed that the judge could no longer require due process hearings, allowing the deportations to proceed.

Lawyers then asked another judge to intervene but he ultimately ruled that only Judge Murphy had jurisdiction. Judge Murphy then said he had no authority to stop the removals due to the Supreme Court's "binding" decision.

Tricia McLaughlin from the department of homeland security called the South Sudan deportation a victory over "activist judges".

Mexico’s not taking back their thugs? And didn’t we just do a huge trade deal with Viet Nam?

Some kind of deal was obviously made with South Sudan to take in the scum of Earth. Probably some cash payment.

Not complaining, but unless you are from there, being abandoned in Juba or left in the custody of the joke government there, especially with the turmoil going on now, is pretty much a death sentence.

Almost certainly.

There are plenty more African shitholes we could make a deal with to take our illegal aliens. I couldn’t give the slightest damn what happens to them once we dump them there.

Here are the illegal invaders who were deported to South Sudan - and whom the left are hell bent on keeping in the US to prey on us and our families:

B09-B07-D1-BD6-F-404-B-8181-8-B69-C68-D1-DE2

21-A65605-8-DBA-414-A-9-E2-F-7118-C494-C1-C8

Thank you President Trump for ridding our country of these beasts who never, ever should have been allowed in, but were by the idiot Biden.

#11: "Maybe they needed some people to pick their lettuce."

South Sudan wanted to enrich their country with a vibrant multihued rainbow tapestry of all races and colors.

“...either completed or were near the end of their prison sentences.”


How can men convicted of murder, rape, and child molestation be at or near the end of their sentences? However, I imagine their futures in South Sudan will be less comfortable than an American prison cell and we will no longer be funding their existences.
